Our Review
This open, airy space has cute-as-a-button grade-school decor and an endearing backstory: the cupcake recipes are inspired by engaging owner John Nicolaides's third-grade teacher, Molly, who would bring her students the treats on their birthdays. I was predisposed to push back from the preciousness on principle alone, but no such luck: these moist cupcakes in a Leary-esque kaleidoscope of flavors and sizes coupled with silky, rich house-made ice cream in five flavors won me over with barely a struggle. Even a simple combo of a classic vanilla cupcake paired with chocolate ice cream had a subtle hint of cinnamon highlighting the flavors.
